Dorset Young Remembers Geocaching app

As part of the Geocaching side of the Dorset Young Remembers project, I am currently creating a mobile app to allow people to find our geocaches more easily. Hopefully it will be available on iPhone, Android and BlackBerry smartphones. It will let people view up to date information about our geocaches, including co-ordinates, description and a hint. They will be able to get to them using a compass or map inside the app. Also there will be the feature to post a log of their visit with comments for other people to see.

Currently, I have the basic parts of the app working on an Android phone with the compass, as you can see in the photo. The next step is to add Google Maps into the app, which will show a way to the cache from the person's location.
